Just delete them at boot time. Three possibilities, here: Unlocker - http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ Freeware - for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Unlocker enables you to delete, move or rename files or folders that are locked by other processed (Access is denied, Sharing Violation etc.). It integrates into the Windows right-click menu, and opens a dialog that shows you the processes that are currently locking the file, thereby preventing it from being deleted. You can choose to terminate and unlock the processes, or otherwise delete the file on the next reboot. http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/unlocker1.8.3.exe (187 KB) ...another one: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PendMoves.html PendMoves --- includes MoveFile utililty that allows you to schedule move and delete commands for the next reboot.
